will my 17687 fully charged rechargable explode if I file down the head to fit the new L4 body?

I've never heard of a 17687 before. I wouldn't file it down if I were you. 17670 should fit without filing.

ehh... i think filing down a battery o wat ever chemistry will damage it to a certian extent.

i certainly WILL not mess with them, especially li ion.

i think you need to bore out the L4's body.

My main concern would be very tiny amounts of metallic dust getting into the vent, or any circuit that may happen to be located at the head end of the cell.

In short, don't mess with Li-Ions in a physical sense. Make changes to the light instead (cut/bend the spring, mod the switch, etc. or extend/bore the tube.)
